1919-] Birds of the Canary Islands. 119 



I observed them in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura as birds of 

 passage and winter visitors, and in 1904< I shot some in the 

 water-courses and suitable places in the barrancos. Von 

 Thanner saw them in 1904, and pul)lished the fact. New 

 arrivals came in Fuerteventura to the Barrauco Rio Cubras, 

 which birds stayed there until the end of February ; later, 

 I saw only a few on two occasions.'^
